autism spectrum disorder (asd)

A diagnostic assessment utilises a combination of clinical interview and observation, previous reports and standardised tests to determine whether or not the person meets DSM5 diagnostic criteria for an autism spectrum condition, whether other conditions are also present, and whether further assessment is needed.


The Diagnostic Assessment leads to an understanding of the person’s profile of abilities, including

  • Whether the person is on the autism spectrum

  • Whether the person’s profile meets diagnostic criteria for an autism spectrum condition

  • The possible presence of other diagnoses, including an anxiety or mood disorder

  • The child and adolescent assessment includes an assessment of adaptive functioning (this is necessary for applying for NDIS funding) 

  • The need for further assessment for another condition, for, e.g. a medical condition, a learning or language disorder, poor adaptive functioning skills, and intellectual disability, ADD or ADHD
